But to do it Wilson will have to beat an in-form O’Sullivan who has a brilliant record in this competition having reached the final five times. O’Sullivan eased into Sunday’s final with a 6-3 win over Shaun Murphy on Friday night.

The pair previously met in last season’s English Open final which O’Sullivan won in comfortable fashion 9-3.

And O’Sullivan recently got the better of Wilson in this season’s Shanghai Masters semi-final beating him 10-6 before beating Barry Hawkins to win the invitational competition.

Sunday’s final will be the best of 19 frames and will start at 1pm (UK time).
